3. Social media has
always been great for
SMBs and startups,
because it allows
small brands with
little to no budget to
compete with larger
brands on the same
stage.
However, Small businesses don’t have the
budgets to go after the “named” influencers, so
there is now a larger opportunity for the
growth of micro-influencers in the new year.

4. 2. Shopping on Social Media

Increasingly, you no longer need to leave a certain site or platform in order to make a purchase or
a product you've found.
Now, with just a few clicks, you can go from seeing something you like while scrolling Instagram to
sharing your credit card information and making a purchase right then and there. Giving
consumers this type of ease and speed can cut your sales funnel almost in half.
More brands are shifthing in this direction, and while currently it’s mainly being used by larger,
well-established companies, With technology now available within many Social Media
applications 2020 will give smaller brands, and hopefully even startups, access to such tools.
5. 3. Stories Will Become Marketers
Darlings

Stories began with Snapchat, but then Instagram and
Facebook Stories came out, and now even YouTube has its
own stories format.
Stories can provide viewers with more authentic insight, as the
videos are often created on the spot. And there's a huge range
of opportunities in the Stories format. Since Stories content
disappears rather quickly, this is the perfect time for marketers
to capitalize on fear of missing out (FOMO) and to offer flash
sales and deals that only loyal users will learn to look for.
6. Stories bring in
new users
looking to take
advantage of
“insider”
specials, which
is a way to skip
taking out a
sales ad, saving
brands cash.
Stories can also give those that use
them a way to instantly grow
engagement – you can add polls to
your Stories, or ask questions that
can be answered with a simple click.

7. 4. Augmented Reality (AR) Will Become
Mainstream

AR technology is evolving, with increased application for
eCommerce, product discovery, special offers, and more.
A great example is IKEA where consumers have the chance to see
how its items will look in buyers' own homes via its AR app.
8. Augmented reality–
realtors take
prospective home
owners on virtual tours
of homes, during which
paint colors can be
changed, walls can be
removed or moved to a
different spot, etc.
Makeup companies can enable
potential customers to try on their
products while on lunch break, or
anywhere they are holding their
phone.

9. 5. Chatbots
When chatbots first came into
our consciousness, customers
were only answered with
prewritten answers to
questions brands thought
were common, using
keywords to trigger the bot.

10. Algorithms are
improving
chatbots’
effectiveness by
“understanding”
what users are
writing to them
Brands no longer have to
stock the bots with canned
answers, as chatbots can, in
a way, surf the web to find
the answers consumers are
seeking.

11. Chatbots are also able to talk to multiple people at the
same time, offering something our current customer
service teams cannot.

Chatbot intelligence will only continue to
grow in 2020, which will likely see more
consumers taking them up, and more brands
following that trend.

12. 6. Improved Customer Service

Customer service will include chatbots. We
know that, every day, the time a consumer
will allow from when they contact a brand to
when they expect an answer is shortening.
We know that having a live 24/7 customer
service team for every a small business isn’t
realistic. Utilizing chatbot technology, in
combination with your live staff, enables for
this type of round the clock coverage.
Of course, bots can't answer every single
question, nor do they allow the
personalization of talking to an actual human
- but a lot of time can be saved for the
customer service workers by handing over the
common questions, changes to addresses and
passwords to the chatbots.
13. Focusing on these
trends will help
you better
strategize and
effectively
implement Social
Media. As always
many new
elements will pop-
up, and many new
tools and shifts
will also take
place.
But in terms of actionable marketing
potential, these are where I expect
to see the most relevant shifts.
Hopefully these notes will help you
prepare your strategic approach.
